Overview
You will look at reasons why classical economists thought that comparative advantage (or differences between countries) was the basis for international trade, while in the past few decades the bulk of international trade has been between very similar countries. The second part of this International Trade and Migration course from UCL Summer School will consider one of the hottest topics in any country – immigration.
You will study the causes and effects of migration and use data and policy analysis to investigate the immigration regimes of some popular migrant destinations.
